Abstract

Young people leaving school often face the dilemma of whether to seek employment or choose self-employment or entrepreneurship. Their peers who grew up in family businesses have the additional option of joining and taking over the family business, which is usually expected of them but not necessarily their preferred choice. This paper describes the various factors that influence young people's choice of these three options. Using a sample of 7,775 participants from 18 European countries, we find that the most important factors are motivation, entrepreneurial intention, subjective norms, positive feelings toward the family business, and experience gained in the family business.
